How to get links on a new tab when PDF opened online?

[libbym59324627]

Hi,

So i have loads of links on a PDF i made, and i need them to open on a separate tab rather than changing the current PDF. I've unticked 'Open cross documents in the same tab.' But obviously nothing changes, thanks a lot!

Are you opening the file inside a browser?

yeah

Then it's up to the PDF plugin used in the browser to do it correctly.

Slightly different need:

1. I have a 36 page PDF doc in my website. Users go to our website then open this in their Browser. How do I force it to open in a NEW PAGE or TAB? 

2. There is a link in each paragraph that will open a relevant web article from my website in the user's Browser. How do make this article open in a new page or tab. 

3. When the user returns to the Catalog, they need to land exactly where they clicked the link.  Right now they end up on the first page of the PDF doc, and have to scroll down to the last place they viewed - NOT good. How do we get the User back to the last place they looked at in the Catalog PDF.

1+2) That can only be done using a script, and it won't work 100% of the time.

The basic code to do it is:

app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com", true);

Replace the first parameter with the actual URL you want to open, of course.

3) If opening the link results in a new tab that shouldn't be an issue. If it doesn't, I'm not sure that's possible.
